As a favor to a friend, Vampire Executioner and Federal
Marshal Anita Blake takes time out from her St. Louis Pard
(pack) and her lovers (two ordinary vampires, two were-
leopards, one were-wolfe, and one master vampire), to fly
to Philadelphia. Her were-leopard lover Micah accompanies
her. The FBI wants to raise the Zombie Emmett Leroy Rose
who died before he could provide testimony in Federal
Court. It is considered strong evidence, the testimony of
a zombie, because they cannot lie.

The night before their appointment at the cemetery, Micah
and Anita enjoy a sex filled night exchanging confidences.
When they arrive at the cemetery, Anita realizes this old
place contains forces that send magical vibes from the
graves to her. Anita completes the protective circle, but
struggles with controlling all that is engulfing her from
the other side including the arisen Emmett amplified by
living humans wanting her stopped.

In previous tale, Micah has been a murkier background
character, but this time he plays a major role enabling
the audience to learn how he became a shapeshifter and how
much the trauma affects him. The audience also sees his
true feelings for Anita. The mystery involves the zombie
testimony, the tactics of a sleazy defense attorney, and
the unknown human in the graveyard. Laurell K. Hamilton
writes an exciting erotic and evocative paranormal
romantic suspense thriller that will thrill her fans and
send new readers scrambling for her backlist.

There are lots of reasons to raise the dead—some private, some public. In this case, the feds have a witness who died before he could speak on the record. They want him raised so his testimony can be taken. So here I am, on a plane to Philadelphia, flying off to do my job.

But I'm not alone. Micah is with me. Micah, head of the St. Louis wereleopard pard. King to my Queen. The only one of my lovers who can stir my blood with just a glance from his chartreuse cat's eyes. I was happy to have him at my side.

Until he mentioned that this will be our first time alone together. No Master Vampire. No Alpha Werewolf. Just me and Micah. And all my fears and doubts...
